Name our new otters, win an ice cream party for 100!

Caileigh Robertson, Communications
We’re teaming up with Umpqua Bank to name our new playful
pair of Asian
small-clawed otters, residents of the new Bamboo Forest Reserve exhibit. Two
lucky winners will each take home a
$100 Umpqua Bank savings account*, a ZooParent adoption, and a visit from an
Umpqua Bank ice cream truck for 100 friends!

The contest began Friday, May 24 and will continue
through Saturday, June 15, 5:00 p.m. PST.

As a tribute to the otters' native southern and southeastern Asia range, all qualified name entries must be submitted in the Malay language. The winning names will be chosen by a panel of zoo judges.

Follow these three simple steps to name our
otters:

1.
Look up words or names in the Malay language. Choose
two names, one for him and one for her.

2.
Pick up a ballot at any Seattle area Umpqua Bank store,
clip out a ballot from select issues of The Seattle Times, or submit your otter
names online at zoo.org/nametheotters.

3.
Wait until the final two names are chosen to find
out if you won one of two grand prizes!

The
Asian small-clawed otters debuted May 4 during the grand
opening celebration of the new Bamboo Forest Reserve exhibit, but their
welcome to Woodland Park Zoo won’t be complete without your help! Log on to zoo.org/nametheotters to submit names for your
chance to win big.

*Grand prize winners will receive a
$100 savings contribution within 30 days of Umpqua Bank account opening.
Account requires a $100 minimum opening deposit and may not be redeemed for
cash. All other applicable terms and fees of the savings account apply; see
account disclosures for detail. For official rules and regulations, visit zoo.org/nametheotters.
